We don't need a reason to enjoy a piece of cake today, but I have a great reason to celebrate anyway. It was back in January when I first wrote about City Kitty in Hallsville, Texas. This adorable little kitty has made life better for everyone who stops into City Hall but recently the cute cat celebrated his 1st birthday just earlier this month on Thursday, March 17th.

I'm not sure if they have a recorded date of birth for City Kitty but it was amazing to see how he celebrated. The City of Hallsville released a video showing City Kitty opening his gift from his loving coworkers. There was also a photo posted of City Kitty wearing a bandana looking as handsome as ever. If you were like me and didn't realize City Kitty was celebrating a birthday, it's still appropriate to eat cake to celebrate how fantastic this kitty is.
